5. This project has been created on the topic to learn the commercial anthropometric.
In this I learn standard human dimensions required for designing public spaces like
shops, office, restaurant, bars etc. this project has been created under the guidance
of Ms. Divya Sharma. I am very thankful to Dezyne E’cole College.
SYNOPSIS
INTERIOR
Design
6. COMMERCIAL ANTHROPOMETRIC
The science dealing specially with the measurement of the human body to determine
differences in individuals, groups , etc. is termed anthropometry . The anthropometry is
viewed mainly as exercise in simple measurement and nothing more, one might conclude
that the dimensional data could be further from the truth. There are many complicating
factors and difficulties involved. One such factor is that body size vary with age, sex, race ,
and even occupational group.
Human body dimensions that impact on the design of interior spaces are of two basic
types- structural and functional. Structural dimensions, some times referred to as ‘’static’’
‘’dynamic’’ dimensions, as the term suggested, include measurements taken in working
positions or during the movement associated with certain tasks.
Appropriates
It is essential , due to many variable involved , that the data selected be appropriate to
the user of the space or furniture to be designed. It becomes necessary, therefore , for the
intended user population to be properly defined in terms of such factors as age, sex,
occupation , and ethnicity.
Reach , clearances, and adjustability
The selection of appropriate anthropometric data is based on the nature of the particular
design problem under consideration . If the design requires the user to reach from a
seated or standing position , the 5th percentile data should be utilized.
INTERIOR
Design
8. RETAIL SPACES
In an interior environment such as a retail space, where customer convenience and
comfort are a matter of corporate policy, the responsiveness of the design to human
dimensions and body sizes is extremely critical. The interface between the user and
the various types of sales counter and self display must be of high quality. Various
counter types for use from both seated and standing positions indicating the
anthropometric considerations involved and suggested dimension clearance for use
in making preliminary design assumptions.
Proper visibility of display both from within and from without is also crucial to the
successful design of a retail space. The eye height of the small and large viewer and
the geometric implications of human vision must be accommodated. The height of a
wrapping counter, the size of a dressing cubicle the critical dimensions of a shoe
department and circulation around and between merchandise display must all
accommodate users of varying body size. Illustrations of these aspects of retail
spaces are also among the drawings include in this section, together with suggested
clearance

Proper clearances for circulation and service aisle, adequate knee and thigh space
between the top of the seat an underside of the table, accessibility for the wheelchair-
bound person, and adequate clearances around the perimeter of the table are basic factor
to make into account to ensure the proper relationship between human dimension and
dining spaces.
Among other consideration examined in the drawing on the following pages in the
development of an incremental unit to be used in allocating the proper space for dinner.

During the dining process, it
is transformed into a state

expanded zone occupier a
minimum area of 14 by 24”.

In the drawing same zones

related to the maximum
body movement involve in
the dining activity. Etiquette
aside, a 24” width will allow
the arms of the larger user
to project beyond the table
into circulation lanes. The
30” dimensions
corresponds to human body
breadth. The 40” allows
sufficient room for place
setting and accommodates

Booths particularly in
situations where both
the seating and the
table are fixed, provide
no margin for individual
adjustment. This lack of
flexibility makes it
essential that the
anthropometric aspects
of the design be
considered closely. The
height of the
compressed seat should
reflect popliteal height
data. The depth of the

31. The term public toiler facility is to a large degree generic since it is quite possible
and proper to create sub classification depending on the user population it is
intended to serve. The anthropometric considerations, particularly during these
peak periods are also quite similar.
The drawing on the following pages examine some conditions and such clearance
and other dimensional data more responsive to human body size and dimension.
